King Khan's ability to charm the pants off this city grows increasingly stronger with every visit.

Golden Triangle sounds like reverb-drenched distorto girl group pop, and they're getting a rep with their brain melt-down live shows. Every band passing through New York wants to play with them—King Khan and the Shrines say they were the best band they've seen in America at a recent show—and in less than a year's existence they've played with Black Lips, Deerhunter, Atlas Sound, Jay Reatard, Awesome Color, King Khan and the BBQ Show, and have toured the country 3 times supporting Quintron and Miss Pussycat and King Khan and BBQ Show. Within their first year they have released two [...]

Golden Triangle have been ripping through the limited press circuit from Rob's House to Sangre Libre and now have a meatier 12" out on Mexican Summer. Mixing girl group charm, garage ethos and a touch of glam style never seems to hurt anyone and it's certainly working for this 6-some. Tearing up 5 originals and a ferocious Redd Kross cover on this deluxe 12, that's as sparkly as the band itself and super limited (500 press almost sold out). The band is a party on stage so it's no coincidence that they've hooked up with King Khan for a full [...]

Most of the music I post here is in the indierock/electronic vein, but let me tell you I have a major soft spot for trash and speedmetal circa 1985-1992. I admit it. After the Metallica black album , that soft spot hardened. Time passed. Then metal crossed over into indie. I really liked that first album by The Sword . I wanted to get into Mastodon when I first heard of them, but it never really took. I dig them when they come up on random on iTunes, but I never really seek [...]
Two great female fronted doses of fuzzed pop this week in the form of Seattle's Blank It's and Brooklyn's Golden Triangle. Blank It's - Windows Are Dirty 7" Burying the vocals under a crush of guitar fizz without ever losing their great sense for pop, Blank It's churn alienation into fun on this 7". Both tracks have a great energy that bursts way beyond the recording limitations in a blur of driving, kicking, twisting [...]

Golden Triangle - "Night Brigade" Golden Triangle, whose Southern roots and reckless performance abandon have landed them supporting slots for current notables such as Deerhunter, Black Lips, King Khan, and Jay Reatard, now call my burrough home. Their vinyl EP's second side peak is "Night Brigade," a sweetly pummeling gang-shouting exhibition. There's a mumbly fellow loitering at the front of the mix, murmuring unintelligibly as the guitars and rhythm race ahead. His vocal shrugging is wildly eclipsed by female backing chants, trilling and whooping in a timeless post-punk fashion. The instrumental din quiets [...]

The stage was draped in toilet paper and the drummer had a sheet strapped to his head that made him look a bit like the Elephant Man, but judging from photos of past Golden Triangle shows this was fairly toned down as far as spectacle goes. But you don't really need much in that department when you've got two ladies up from shaking tambourines like no tomorrow and wailing on the mike. Sounding a bit like Brix-era Fall or We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Going to Use It or '60s girl group The What Four, Golden Triangle push all [...]
According to The Golden Triangle's MySpace page , there is a Mexican Summer showcase on 3/19 @ Club 1808 with Soft Pack, Crystal Stilts, Crystal Antlers, Vivian Girls, Golden Triangle.
Photos by Derek Evers What started as a night of hardcore on the floor with Michael Jordan , progressed to a fuzzy mod explosion on stage with The Beets and Golden Triangle , before Golden Triangle brought it back to the floor to end the evening. A party to celebrate the launch of Impose TV , the three Brooklyn-area bands were brought together on a frigid January night at the local dive [...]

Top Ten Live Shows of 2008 Happy New Year everyone! This is definitely a personal list for me and I hope you'll find something to take away from it! I'd like to hear about some of your favourite shows from the past year as well so please don't hesitate to comment! It was really hard to choose just 10 shows for this list because my 2008 calendar was filled. Not only had I been to a lot shows, they also spanned many genres, which made it that much more difficult to narrow them down. Rather than [...]

Today almost got away from me without getting on here to post this, and because I am short on time this post is going to be short on content. Got it? Good. Go see Golden Triangle from Brooklyn tonight at the Echoplex with Quintron and Miss Pussycat! But if you do miss them tonight like I will unfortunately, supposedly they will be touring with King Khan and BBQ Show in December, though if you wait 'til December, you won't be able to say you saw them back before everyone else, like when the Vivian Girls [...]

With WYLDPRTY. You gotta check em out, they were rad!!! Plus, we're gonna get a keg. Anyways, those bands were KILLER!!!!
Leaves of Grass , my ass; here's Alfred, Lord Tennyson. On the rare occasions where the 19th-century UK poet laureate has shown up in music over the past, ohh, 100 years or so, it's been on stuff like Charles Ives compositions and Tangerine Dream track titles. When Golden Triangle charge wildly into "Night Brigade", its title a play on Tennyson's most famous poem, their sabers sound not only bare but like they'll give you tetanus. Somehow including members from Brooklyn, Atlanta, Memphis, and Austin, at least according to their MySpace [...]
